James Black, Chair of the New York Chapter of the P&G Alumni Network, worked at Procter & Gamble in Brand Management for more than seven years in Cincinnati from 2003 to 2010.
Three Tips from the New York Chapter on how to grow membership:
-
Strengthen how to articulate the value proposition of the Network so people want to be active. In the New York Chapter we focus on 3 C’s:
- Content–e.g. AI
- Careers–panels to help people explore their next acts
- Community–socials and community service
-
Determine what assets can be provided to the Chapters–e.g., speakers from Cincinnati would be a plus to drive connectivity
-
Leverage “shared interests” –for the NY Chapter, alumni in “tech” would be a powerful source
